How Wind Chill is Calculated

The wind chill formula used by the National Weather Service:

Wind Chill (°F) = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V^0.16) + 0.4275T(V^0.16)

Where T = Air Temperature (°F) and V = Wind Speed (mph)

What is Wind Chill?

Wind chill (or "feels like" temperature) measures how cold it actually feels when wind is factored in. Wind increases heat loss from exposed skin, making the air feel colder than the actual temperature reading.

Common Use Cases

Outdoor Planning

Dress appropriately for actual conditions, not just temperature.

Frostbite Prevention

Know when exposed skin is at risk of frostbite.

Winter Sports

Plan skiing, snowboarding, and outdoor activities safely.

Work Safety

Protect outdoor workers from cold-related injuries.
